Fisherman saw a large pike grab a duck near Scowcroft Lock, under the railway bridge known locally as the Iron Donger.
They threw stones at the pike and rescued the duck, which was then taken care of by a local woman.
The fishermen are warning youngsters not to dip their toes into the water or to jump from the bridge, as the pike has "piranha-like teeth" and can be vicious.

so many happy childhood memories of fishing, swimming in and playing on the canal, back in the days when it was safe to do so
